White Blade (Part 9)

The surroundings were silent. When Fu You said this, even Su Xuan stopped.

He put down his tea and looked over.

Sandy: “…what?”

Fu You said: "I said that Ling Yin's feet were cut off by herself because she didn't want to leave the Burning Heaven Realm."

Sandy opened her mouth, but was so shocked and confused that no words came out.

Liu Lixue asked: "What do you mean by she cut it off herself? Is that what I understood?"

Fu You did not roll his eyes at him like he did just now. No emotion could be seen on his pale face, only a dead silence like sinking water.

"yes."

Now Liu Lixue was speechless.

Sandy couldn't understand why a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm, even if she became a fierce ghost, could still run rampant in the world of cultivation, so she trapped herself in the Burning Heaven Realm.

In the Burning Heaven Realm, there was not even a flower. The ground was covered with black soil scorched by ghost fire. It was dark and there was no bright light in the white blade.

Being locked up in that kind of environment, the most terrifying thing is to be sane, to be awake and watch yourself go crazy bit by bit.

"She...why..." Sandy pursed her lips slightly, "Do you know why Senior Lingyin cut off his own legs?"

Fu You said coldly: "How should I know? I wasn't even born six thousand years ago."

Fu You is not much older than Sang Dai and Su Xuan. In front of an ancestor who lived thousands of years ago, they are too immature. Even if they are added together, they are still not even a fraction of Ling Yin's size.

Sandy asked again: "Then why do you know Lingyin? She listened to you and opened my ban at that time."

"She didn't open your restrictions because of me." Fu You looked at Sandy, "She opened your restrictions because of you."

Su Xuan showed no expression, only Liu Lixue, who knew nothing, frowned.

"What do you mean?" Liu Lixue leaned forward, "Why is it because of you, Miss Sang? Are you acquainted with Senior Lingyin?"

Sandy shook her head: "I don't know him."

That was the first time we met.

She seemed to understand what Fu You said.

"The person who made the deal with you behind the scenes asked you to find Lingyin and ask her to help me open the ban that was sealed by the elders of the Sword Sect, right?"

Fuyou was silent.

"Your goal was to have me surrounded and killed there, but Senior Lingyin wanted me to survive. She opened my restrictions and taught me how to use the Tianyu Stone. She risked being killed by the Heavenly Dao to hint at my destiny. Senior Lingyin wanted me to live."

From the beginning, she never thought of killing Sandy.

The purpose of abducting her was to break her restrictions, but also to save her.

Tell her what happened in the past, let her understand how vicious the people around her are, know her final outcome, and choose her own path again.

The end result is the same, but the starting point is completely different.

Sandy showed no emotion, her expression was calm and peaceful, Fu You saw this and suddenly sneered.

"Sandy, you are actually very lucky."

Su Xuan looked over coldly, and Fu You was no longer afraid of his karmic fire.

Fu You stood up, his clothes were tattered, but even though his face had turned pale, his facial features were still handsome.

Heaven grants those with awakened heavenly spiritual roots the most perfect things, including appearance.

He looked down at Sandy who was sitting on a stone bench and said, "Many people want to kill you, but many people also want you to live. Heaven hates you, but it also favors you."

Sandy didn't quite understand what he said, but she was quick to detect the loophole in his words: "What are you talking about? What about the heaven hating me?"

Speaking of Sang Dai, Su Xuan also frowned: "Fu You, speak."

Liu Lixue was confused when she heard this: "What on earth is this? Who of you can explain it to me?"

Su Xuan stood up and asked, "Fuyou, what exactly is the destiny you are talking about?"

When the souls were captured, no matter how they asked why the person behind the scenes wanted to kill Sandy, Fuyou and Jicang only had one answer:

"It is destiny that you die."

Su Xuan raised his chin slightly and looked at the dark sky. There was no sunlight in the white blade, only bright lamps provided illumination.

"Is it Him?"

The sky is peaceful and quiet, and silent.

Liu Lixue frowned and looked up, only to see the sky completely dark.

He was very smart and could vaguely guess what Su Xuan and Sang Dai were referring to.

"Does God want to kill Miss Sang?"

This was really shocking. If someone else said this to Liu Lixue, he would definitely laugh while shaking his folding fan and calling that person an idiot.

She is a person with awakened spiritual roots at the heaven level. Everyone knows how much the heaven loves Sandy.

Obviously, they were all people with awakened heavenly spiritual roots, but only Sang Dai awakened her heavenly spiritual roots at the age of three, and even Su Xuan awakened her heavenly spiritual roots at the age of seven.

After awakening her spiritual roots, she began to refine her Qi every other day, built her foundation at the age of five, achieved the Golden Elixir at the age of seventeen, and entered the Spiritual Transformation stage at the age of a hundred. If she had not been poisoned by the people of the Sword Sect, Sang Dai would have entered the Mahayana stage long ago. She would be the first cultivator in the current world of cultivation to enter the Mahayana stage, and her talent would be much better than Su Xuan.

Such a proud child of heaven, everyone can see how much the heaven favors her, how could they want to kill her? But the expressions of Sang Dai and Su Xuan made Liu Lixue gradually understand that this seemed to be the case.

He put away his frivolous smile and asked, "What's going on?"

Fu You crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "Oh, you just realized it now."

Liu Lixue looked very gloomy and asked Sang Dai, "Miss Sang, who wants to kill you?"

Sandy, who had been silent all this time, finally took action. "Master Liu, there are too many people who want to kill me. He is just one of them."

She treated Tiandao as an ordinary person, just one of the countless people who wanted to kill her. It was the same whether she was killed by one person or by a group of people.

Liu Lixue looked at his master in shock.

Su Xuan's face was gloomy, his pupils looked like beasts, and his previously restrained aura became unnaturally gloomy.

Fu You picked up the cup and poured himself a cup of tea, then said casually, "I didn't mean to kill you. I was just following someone's orders. That person told me and Ji Cang that. The reason he gave was that you must die. It was fate that wanted you to die. I don't know why."

Sandy asked: "Because of the prophecy of the return to the abyss?"

Fu You: "Maybe, maybe not, who knows? Until it comes to that point, no one knows the final outcome."

Sandy: "Are you not afraid that I will really destroy the Ruins and overthrow the Four Worlds?"

Fu You drank the tea in one gulp and wiped the water off his chin: "You?"

He smiled and said, "Sang Dai, in this world, maybe I, maybe Su Xuan, maybe Ji Cang, or maybe Ying Heng, we may all be destroyed and return to ruins to bury the four realms, but you won't."

"You are strong enough, but too soft-hearted."

There are too many people he cares about. He could kill his adoptive father cleanly, but he would never point the blade at an unarmed person.

Fu You said: "I never thought you would be destroyed."

Sandy said, "But destiny says so."

Fu You laughed: "Then let's wait for the destiny to come true. I want to see whether the Four Realms will die in your hands or you will die in the hands of the Four Realms."

Sandy said nothing, but her hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, and her brows were consciously wrinkled because she was thinking about something.

Su Xuan watched for a long time. None of the four of them spoke. They were all very silent.

After a long time, Su Xuan couldn't help it anymore, so he pulled her up and said, "Don't frown."

Sandy: “…what?”

Su Xuan's eyes fell on her brows and said, "Don't frown, don't worry about these things. With me here, it won't come to this."

He thought Sandy didn't say anything because she was worried about what Fu You said.

Sang Dai suddenly realized what Su Xuan was saying, and her depressed mood disappeared. Seeing his serious expression, she just wanted to laugh.

Lord Demon King himself didn't know that he looked really fierce when he had a stern face. His appearance was already very aggressive, and once he didn't smile, he would make people feel that he was keeping people away.

She called softly, "Su Xuan."

"Um."

"I'm not worried. I've never been afraid of these things."

No matter whether Lingyin said that she was the sinner who would be destroyed in the end, no matter whether the four realms would hunt her down, she did not feel afraid from beginning to end.

"I won't do anything that goes against my conscience. No matter what the final outcome is, I firmly believe that I am not wrong." Sandy said, "So I am not afraid. Only those who have done evil things and feel guilty will be afraid, but I am not wrong."

The frost on Su Xuan's face melted quickly, like a spring breeze passing by.

Looking at the gentle yet resolute look of the swordsman, his heart suddenly collapsed.

He said "hmm", but his eyes never left Sandy.

Liu Lixue held a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Fu You: "Can you eat them?"

He cracked melon seeds and smiled as he looked at the man and the demon. He felt that the two were a perfect match.

Fu You cracked melon seeds with him and asked, "Does your master really like Sandy?"

Liu Lixue rolled her eyes at him and said, "I thought anyone who is not blind can see it."

Fu You: "Will Sandy like your master? She is a well-known sword maniac."

Liu Lixue was dissatisfied and retorted: "Don't worry, when our demon world holds the union ceremony, I will definitely send an invitation to the city lord."

Fu You: “Tsk.”

When Sandy looked over, she happened to see Fu You and Liu Lixue sitting shoulder to shoulder, happily cracking melon seeds.

She said suspiciously: "You... father and son have become good friends."

Liu Lixue: “…”

Fu You: “…………”

He pushed Liu Lixue away, threw the melon seeds in his hand at him, and said viciously: "Stay away from your father, do you think I am someone you can get close to?"

Liu Lixue curled her lips: "What a low-class person."

"You damn peacock, today I will pluck your feathers and roast them for you!"

"My Lord!"

Sandy raised her forehead, not understanding how these two people over a hundred years old could be so childish together.

The depressing atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and things became as informal as before.

Sandy stood between the two of them, "Stop it!"

Liu Lixue huddled behind Su Xuan, and Fu You got so angry that he started to have ghost fire again.

He still had some rationality left in him. After being angry for a while, the anger slowly died down.

Liu Lixue wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.

Sang Dai said: "Fuyou, we won't stay long. Tell us where Senior Lingyin is in Burning Heaven Realm. I need to see her."

When he mentioned Ling Yin, Fu You's anger completely disappeared, but his face became more gloomy, as if he was not angry, but because of something else.

Even if Sandy was a bit thick-skinned, she could still notice that Fu You treated Ling Yin differently.

She asked tentatively: "You and Senior Lingyin——"

Fu You interrupted her coldly: "She is in Burning Heaven Realm, not sure where she is, but she may be in Red Sand Spring."

His voice was deep.

Sandy pursed her lips slightly and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for bothering you this time. Thank you very much."

She glanced at Su Xuan and Liu Lixue, understood each other, and turned around to leave.

Fu You suddenly said, "Wait."

Sandy looked back at him.

Fu You's dark eyes were dim, and there seemed to be something churning in them. Under Sandy's gaze, he said, "Sandy, if possible, bring her out, okay?"

Sandy was stunned.

Fu You said: "Her feet are at the Red Sand Spring in the Burning Heaven Realm. She placed them there herself and set up a restriction to trap herself in the Burning Heaven Realm."

He murmured in a low voice: "It's been so long, and she still refuses to come out."

Sandy asked back, "Do you want her to come out?"

Fu You said nothing.

Sandy actually knew his answer in her heart. She sighed slightly and said, "Okay."

"think."

At the same time, two voices rang out simultaneously.

Only then did Sandy realize that it was Fu You who was speaking.

Fu You said: "Bring her out."

He turned around, his black hair draped behind him, with the ends of his hair curled in a slight arc.

The person walked away, and only a vague sentence was heard.

"If she wants to come out."

Sandy looked at his back. She had never noticed such a low and lonely aura from Fu You. His back was straight, but it seemed as if it was bent by an invisible force.

Why would a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm cut off his own feet and trapped himself in the Burning Heaven Realm?

What happened that made her prefer to stay in the desolate and cold Burning Heaven Realm rather than go out and see the world?

***

Sang Dai and Su Xuan once again stepped into the Burning Heaven Realm, and Liu Lixue went in with shaking arms.

"Hiss, I should have put on more clothes earlier. The ghost energy in here is really cold. You said that Fu You threw all his collections into Burning Heaven Realm just to kill Miss Sang. He must have been free."

Su Xuan glanced at him calmly: "You are useless."

Although he said this, Liu Lixue smiled and stretched out his hand, and Su Xuan generously lent him a karma fire.

The karmic fire of the ancient beast was warm enough for him to resist the evil spirit of the Burning Sky Realm. Liu Lixue was so moved that he burst into tears.

"My Lord, after Miss Sang came, you finally became a human being."

Su Xuan: “…”

Su Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost!"

Liu Lixue ran away holding the fire: "Okay!"

Sang Dai laughed as she watched. She used to think that Su Xuan and Liu Lixue were in a master-servant relationship, but she didn't expect that they were more like brothers.

After all, one of them appears to be dishonest on the surface, while the other is dishonest at heart, so people tend to be divided into groups.

Su Xuan grasped the sword practitioner's wrist skillfully and shot a cluster of karma fire into her meridians.

His spiritual power was as hot as he was. Now that Sandy had spiritual power and a complete golden elixir, she didn't actually feel cold. But after Su Xuan's spiritual power penetrated her, her meridians became noticeably warm.

"Now that you have spiritual power and cultivation, you can protect yourself if you encounter a powerful ghost, but don't try too hard."

Su Xuan put down her hand, handed her the Qingwu Sword at his waist, and said, "There are too many fierce ghosts, and they don't care about their lives, they only know how to kill people, but your life is very important, don't fight like you did in the past. Zhiyu has not been reshaped yet, you use my original Qingwu Sword."

Sang Dai curled her eyes, took the Qingwu Sword he handed over, and said, "Su Xuan, do you know what you look like now?"

"What?"

"You are like an old father sending his children to school, following behind him and reminding them again and again, don't forget to bring your books, don't sleep in class, don't fight with others."

Sandy pointed to her ears and said, "I've heard these words many, many times."

In order to achieve a stacking effect, she used several "a lot", with a crisp sound and an upturned ending as if she was acting coquettishly.

Su Xuan looked straight again in dismay.

【Dade... so cute. 】

Sandy sighed.

【I want to kiss. 】

Sandy rolled her eyes at him and said, "My Lord Demon King, please don't waste any more time."

[Are you being coquettish? Dai Dai, are you being coquettish with me? Can you call me again? Your voice is so beautiful. It’s so cute. So cute. So cute. Take a sip! ]

Seeing that the emotions in her mind were becoming increasingly disturbed, Sandy turned and left.

The fox behind him followed closely, its ears standing straight up among its silver hair, and it couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of its lips.

He followed the swordsman and silently moved closer to him, with their shoulders touching each other.

The clothes she was wearing were specially made by him, and the hairpin on her hair was one he had saved over the years. He never expected that they would appear on her one day.

Su Xuan wanted to repair a certain sword and make it beautiful, no longer as frugal as it was in the Sword Sect.

He glanced at the swordsman beside him and could see her thick, curly eyelashes.

it's beautiful.

His Dede deserves all the best.

Sandy naturally had no idea what was going on in his mind.

Compared to Su Xuan, she is much more serious.

Obviously, there should be people from the other two worlds who have not yet withdrawn in Burning Heaven Realm, but apart from some demon cultivators, they did not see anyone from the Immortal Realm along the way.

Are they all gone?

Sandy couldn't tell either, but even though there were fewer people from the Immortal Realm in the Burning Heaven Realm, there were still many fierce ghosts, and they were still frighteningly numerous.

Another fierce ghost rushed up, and Su Xuan skillfully swung out the karmic fire.

Sandy followed him in silence.

Liu Lixue was walking in front, but because Su Xuan was following behind him, any fierce ghost who approached them would be burned to ashes. He was as leisurely as if he was strolling in his own backyard.

Sandy asked: "Should we go find the Heavenly Level Spiritual Root first?"

Su Xuan asked back: "Do you know where the heavenly spiritual root is?"

Sandy shook her head: "I don't know."

Su Xuan said: "But someone might know."

Sang Dai only needed to think about it for a moment before she knew what Su Xuan meant: "Senior Lingyin."

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Sang Dai said, "Let's go find Senior Ling Yin first. Burning Heaven Realm is so huge, and searching aimlessly without a target is just a matter of luck, but Senior Ling Yin may know."

They were originally going to look for Lingyin. There were too many unknowns about Lingyin. If Sandi wanted to find out what happened back then, she had to follow Lingyin's lead.

Is the destiny that Senior Lingyin saw related to the destruction of the Guixu spiritual vein more than a hundred years ago?

Did she see Ying Heng in her destiny?

Perhaps these things can give her the answer.

Sandy asked, "Where is the Red Sand Spring?"

Su Xuan raised his chin and motioned Sang Dai to look: "See that place? The deeper you go into Burning Heaven Realm, the more powerful ghosts there are and the deeper the ghost energy is. The Red Sand Spring is the deepest part of Burning Heaven Realm."

Sandy: "The haunted man's lair?"

"nature."

Liu Lixue was walking in front, and suddenly turned around and said, "It's not just the lair of the fierce ghosts. Rumor has it that the fierce ghosts deep in the Burning Heaven Realm are different from the ones we are facing now."

He dodged a fierce ghost that came from somewhere, and turned the folding fan in his hand back to cut off the ghost's head. Su Xuan threw out a handful of karma fire, but it turned into a puff of flying smoke in the blink of an eye.

Liu Lixue continued, "Those powerful ghosts are all powerful ghosts who died tragically. They must have been at least in the Yuanying realm when they were alive. For example, Miss Sang has heard of a man named You Hanlu from the Hehuan Sect five hundred years ago. He was convicted by the Immortal Alliance for massacring the Lin family of Jingyang County. He was hunted down by the Immortal Sect and eventually died in the Ten Thousand Killing Array. His soul turned into a powerful ghost at that time and killed a group of elders."

Sandy had heard about him. After all, he was the leader of the Hehuan Sect. He was said to be very handsome and there were countless female cultivators who liked him.

"As for him, he was eventually captured by the Immortal Sect and exiled to the Burning Heaven Realm. Maybe he is in the Red Sand Spring. Do you think he has improved his cultivation after so many years?"

Before being imprisoned, he was in the Yuanying Man realm, perhaps he has reached the Shenhua realm now.

Liu Lixue said: "What I mean is that there are many unusual and powerful ghosts in Chishaquan, and many of them are even conscious. What they like most is to tease their prey."

"For example, let you decide whether he is guilty or not."

"For example, asking you if he is good-looking?"

"For example, asking you to help him find a body."

Liu Lixue turned around and waved her hand. "No matter how you answer, he will kill you. When you encounter such a fierce ghost, you can only draw your sword and there is no reasoning. But fierce ghosts are very difficult to kill."

"So, I hope we don't encounter a powerful ghost that is still sane. It is really difficult to deal with it."

He opened his folding fan and fanned himself in a rather romantic manner.

Sandy nodded to indicate that she understood.

Su Xuan said: "You are now in the state of full incarnation, so it won't be a problem to deal with them."

Sandy didn't feel scared either.

She looked towards the deepest part of the Burning Heaven Realm. Amid the layers of ghostly fires all around her, the faintly visible Red Sand Spring in the distance was even more terrifying.

All you can see is a burning green fire, a vigorous ghost fire, which shows how strong the ghost energy there is and how many powerful ghosts there are.

Lingyin was actually there.

Sandy was filled with emotion and gripped the Qingwu Sword tightly.

Facts have proved that what Liu Lixue said was indeed right.

He is so crow-mouthed.

Just as Sang Dai entered the border of Chisha Spring, a fierce ghost hung upside down from above, with messy hair hanging down like a curtain and dark red eyes.

The moment she looked into his eyes, Sandy felt a chill in her heart.

Oh no, I really met a conscious and powerful ghost.

Su Xuan had a cold face. He held Sang Dai's hand, grabbed Liu Lixue's collar and quickly retreated.

The fierce ghost was hooked on something and was hanging upside down in the air with a snow-white face.

He looked at Sandy, licked his lips suddenly, and murmured: "Girl, you smell so good..."

Sandy: “…”

Liu Lixue: “…”

Su Xuan: "You are looking for death!"

In his hands, a powerful fire ignited, and with unstoppable force, it was thrown all over the fierce ghost hanging upside down.

But even though the fierce ghost was on fire, he didn't care whether his life was going to end or not. He looked at Sandy and screamed, "You smell so good, you smell so good!"

A voice echoed from deep within the will-o'-the-wisp.

"What a nice smell, what a nice smell of flesh and blood."

"Girl, can I eat your arm?"

"No, no, no, I don't want that much. I'm not greedy. I just want one finger. Please give it to me. Please give it to me!"

"I want it too, I want it too, I want it too, I want it too!"

Sandy saw dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes, greedy and cold.

They were vying with each other to speak.

"I am missing an arm. They took my arm. I can't leave Burning Heaven Realm. Can I have your arm?"

"I'm missing a head, and they took my head, so I can't get out. I want your head."

"I'm missing a leg. They took my leg. I really want to get out. Can you give it to me?"

Liu Lixue felt a chill and cursed, "What a psycho!!"

Sandy was still calm, frowning slightly. Just as she was about to draw her sword, she saw a black shadow flash past her.

Su Xuan's figure was almost a shadow, and the golden patterns on his black robe emitted a dim light under the illumination of the ghost fire. Karmic fire several times stronger than the ghost fire burned around his body, suppressing the thick and cold ghost fire and forcing it to retreat step by step.

Wherever it passed, the karmic fire burned the bodies of those fierce ghosts.

Countless twisted bodies were burning in the flames of hell. They kept looking at Sandy, with greedy desires in their screams of pain.

"I want to leave Burning Heaven Realm, I want to leave!"

"Girl, help me, help me!"

"Let me eat you, let me eat you!"

Liu Lixue rubbed her arms, her pretty face full of disgust: "What is this!!"

Sandy did not respond.

Liu Lixue looked over and found that her eyes seemed to be...looking at something.

He followed Sandy's gaze.

Su Xuan's karma fire and the ghosts' ghost fire burned together, and the entire Chishaquan was engulfed in flames. The figures of the fierce ghosts in the flames were twisted and in pain, but their bloodshot eyes were fixed on Sang Dai. They stretched out their hands and staggered, stumbling with flames, struggling to reach her, but were smashed to pieces by Su Xuan's palm.

And behind the flames...

A figure stood quietly.

A white dress was dragging on the ground, and the flames caught the hem of her dress, but it did not burn even a single bit.

Her long hair was untied. It was unknown how long she had kept it, and the ends of her hair were dragging on the ground.

The eyes were not the usual bloodshot eyes of a fierce ghost, but a gentle black color, and there were no ferocious ghost marks on the pretty face.

Liu Lixue stammered: “Linglinglinglingling——”

Sandy said calmly: "Senior Lingyin."

Su Xuan also stopped, his tall figure standing in the flames, his silver hair fluttering in the heat waves.

He looked over, but Lingyin didn't look at him. Instead, she stared at Sang Dai.

She stood far away and suddenly smiled at Sandy: "Girl, do you dare to come in?"

Sandy asked back: "Into what?"

Lingyin looked at her and said softly, "Chishaquan, if you come in, you will be eaten by the fierce ghosts."

Share the food.

Those fierce ghosts all wanted to eat her.

Lingyin was still asking: "Girl, aren't you here to see me? I'm right here, do you dare to come in?"

Su Xuan's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he subconsciously walked towards Sandy: "Sandy, you can't come in."

Liu Lixue was shocked: "Miss Sang, you can't——"

Sang Dai's expression did not change. Before Liu Lixue could finish her words, she had already drawn her sword and teleported forward.

The swordsman's cold voice came:

"Of course I dare."
